Van Luijk's New Life Short-Lived; Eliminated by Zabrodotskyi
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Yurii Zabrodotskyi raised to 25,000 on the button and was called by Derk van Luijk in the big blind. On the A♣10♣8♣ flop, Van Luijk checked and Zabrodotskyi bet 25,000.
The 2024 EPT Monte Carlo Main Event champ then check-raised all in for about 240,000. Zabrodotskyi called and the PokerStars TV cameras gathered again to record van Luijk's fate.
Derk van Luijk: K♣9♥
Yurii Zabrodotskyi: 10♦10♠
Zabrodotskyi was ahead with his set of tens, but Van Luijk was drawing to a flush.
The Q♦ turn changed nothing and the 9♠ river ended Van Luijk's day just minutes after he had doubled up.
